We get it, you're a college student. You're hungry and your roommate is tired of you stealing her ramen. When times are tough and your stomach is rumbling, here are some ideas you can use:

1. Join a club for the free pizza.

2. Only go to club meetings with free pizza.

3. Go grocery shopping at your parents' house.

4. Take advantage of food delivery promotions.

5. Go to Bibibop, get a bowl or two of free miso soup, leave.

6. Get food samples at your local Sam's Club or Costco.

7. Sneak bites off of other people's plates.

8. Match somebody on Tinder, go on a date for the food, never contact him again.

9. Become a waitress and bum restaurant food.

10. Go out with your friends and "coincidentally" forget to bring any money.

11. Sneak grapes at Walmart.

12. Steal a lollipop from a baby.

13. Get pregnant and drink your own breast milk.

14. Lick that stranger's burger. He doesn't want it anymore. It's now yours.

15. Go to a bank and take advantage of their free candy.

16. Steal eggs from a farm.

17. Harvest a community garden plot.

18. Dine 'n Dash at a restaurant.

19. Lower your standards. Go to the restaurant and take food off tables after the others have left.

20. Lower your standards even more. Go to the restaurant, out the back door, and rummage for food in the trash can.

21. Beg for food.

22. Donate blood and get a donut and juice.

23. Become a fake food critic.

24. Go to hotels for their free continental breakfast.

25. Host a canned food drive. For yourself.

26. Faint in front of someone eating food. When they come to help you out, take their sandwich and run.

27. Eat grass.

28. Eat bugs.

29. Eat your roommate's cat.

30. Eat your roommate.

I'd like to take this moment to remind all you broke, hungry college kids that there are people displaced from their homes after all the upheaval of the hurricanes in Texas, Florida, and other coastal states and countries. I urge you to see how you can help by donating, providing food and goods, or volunteering.

Also a reminder that people go hungry everywhere and every day. Show compassion; give a little love, money, and food to wherever you can.

Here is a list of resources and ways you can help:

Also, *another* reminder that your roommate and her cat are friends, not food.
